Welcome back to the fold everyone, we hope you had a wonderful weekend filled with fun activities and memorable times with family and friends. Very much back to business, Staples July deals offer a host of discounts on the latest tech, gadgets, and home office gear.

Today, Staples has slashed 20% or $180 off the normal price of the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7 Windows 10 laptop. For $700, with free shipping and delivery, you get a powerful computer with some impressive specs. It’s rocking a 3.6GHz Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB of DDR4 RAM, and a GeForce MX350 graphics card, for example.

While our Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7 review included the AMD-powered model, there was a lot to be said about its display and overall design. Similarly, in the Intel vs. AMD IdeaPad Slim 7 mashup, the AMD model took the title for its performance, but the Intel model was still very much a worthy contender.

All of that is to say that the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7 laptop offers some incredible performance and hardware for its price point. You get an Intel Core i5 processor, at 3.6GHz clock speeds, with 8GB of LPDDR4 RAM, and a 512GB solid-state drive. The 14-inch 1920 x 1080 display is nearly bezel-less, and the visuals are handled by a GeForce MX350 graphics card, instead of onboard graphics. It has 2GB of GDDR5 dedicated VRAM, enough to run most games at medium settings. You also get five USB ports, two of which are USB 3.1 Gen 2 (Type-C), plus an HDMI for video out. The battery should last for 10-12 hours with light browsing or productivity-use, and about five hours with high-performance applications or games.

Staples is offering the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7 14-inch Laptop for $700 with free shipping and delivery. That’s $180 or 20% off the full price, which is normally $880. That’s a great deal for most laptops, let alone one with specs of this caliber. We’re not sure how long the deal is going to last, so you might want to hurry if you’re thinking about snagging this impressive piece of machinery.

Lenovo Legion Slim 7i gaming laptop with RTX 4060 price slashed

Playing a game on the Lenovo Legion Slim 7i gaming laptop.

Modern games are only getting more demanding, and PS5 deals and Xbox Series X deals really aren't cutting the price of consoles down much. In the long run, you're better off buying a powerful gaming laptop that will last you several years. Right now Lenovo has some great gaming laptop deals, including this offer on the Legion Slim 7i. Right now the version with an Nvidia RTX 4060 GPU is $320 off, bringing the price down from $1,820 to $1,500. Lenovo likes to discount products that are just about to sell out, so if you're interested in this Legion Slim 7i you should grab it before it's gone.

Why you should buy the Lenovo Legion 7i
The Lenovo Legion Slim 7i is a very portable gaming laptop. It weighs under five pounds, and Lenovo was able to pack some impressive hardware into the slim chassis. As the name implies, it has the 13th-Gen Intel Core i7 processor. This version comes with the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 graphics card, which has 8GB of GDDR6 SDRAM. It has 16GB of RAM on top of that, which will be able to handle one demanding game at a time, and probably Google Chrome (just kidding). It also comes with 1TB of storage, a necessity in the age of games regularly shipping out at over 100GB.

Lenovo often has some of the better laptop deals around but it does so in a slightly sneaky way. Due to its estimated value system, its original price can seem a little disingenuous and excessively high. That's why we focus on the discounted price which is what the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga stands out for. According to Lenovo, it's gone from $4,249 down to $999. Who knows the accuracy of that first price but we do know that $999 for this laptop is pretty great. Here's a deeper look at what you need to know about it before you commit to a purchase.
